“What part of the States do you come from?”

“I’m not American. I’m Canadian.”

This is a mistake that Europeans often make. Many Americans, too, admit that it takes them a while to tell if it's an American talking or a Canadian. This upsets some Canadians, because they want people to recognize them as Canadians. They want everyone to know that Canada is an independent nation with its own special character.

American English was probably brought to Canada by the Loyalists(忠于北方者)who fled there during the Revolutionary War(1776~1783), for even as late as 1813. 80% of all British Canadians had come from the USA.

From the very first, Canada was a country with two languages, neither of which influenced the other very much, because the French and British spoke to each other so little. Canadian English has always remained very like American English, and the influence of the Indian and Inuit languages was no greater than the influence of French. But there are some important words that have found their way via(通过)Canadian dictionaries into British dictionaries.

  1. (1) The sentence“I’m not American, I’m Canadian. ” suggests _____.
    A . Canada is a beautiful country B . Canadian English is not quite different from American English C . Canadians think Canada is a more developed country D . Canadians think that their country is independent
  2. (2) It isn’t easy for Europeans even for Americans to tell _____ from _____.
    A . American English; British English B . Canadian English; American English C . Canadian English; British English D . British English; Scottish English
  3. (3) The two languages spoken in Canada refer to _____.
    A . British English and American English B . English and Latin C . French and English D . Canadian English and American English
  4. (4) Generally speaking, Canadian English is the same as American English because _____.
    A . Canada is connected with the USA B . most of the British Canadians had come from the USA C . the population of Canada is smaller than that of the USA D . Canadians want to follow Americans
  5. (5) With the help of _____, some Canadian new words come into British English.
    A . the Revolutionary War B . the Loyalists C . Indian language D . Canadian dictionaries

    Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes — a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.

    Do you envy them?What sort of life are models leading?Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?

    A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They'd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine — models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.

    Interviews for a model job are known as cattle markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell him or her in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.

    Immigration officials at the airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.

  1. (1) For models, their good looks and tight figures are _________,compared with their intelligence and qualifications.
    A . more important B . less needed C . less essential D . more looked down upon
  2. (2) Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?
    A . A model's traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer. B . To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification. C . Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay. D . A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.
  3. (3) Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in their passports because _______.
    A . They want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans B . A person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies C . Models are sometimes looked down upon D . Secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty
  4. (4) What may be the author's attitude towards modeling?
    A . It's a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man. B . He is in favor of young people to try modeling. C . Before being crazy about a model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties. D . It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.
  5. (5) The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by _____________.
    A . doubtfully B . excitedly C . proudly D . sadly
